Hello! I’m Elisa Glez Magaña, also known as Cooking Kstar
I'm a Mexican illustrator and character designer who creates adorable, colorful and expressive characters that connect deeply with audiences.
I help authors, publishers, studios, and entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life through visual storytelling for animation, comics, children's books, videogames and branding.
With a style influenced by fantasy, nature and kawaii aesthetics, my illustrations are perfect for:
-Character design for mascots and products
-Illustration for children's stories and educational content
-Concept art for magical and emotional worlds
-Stickers, prints, and playful merch
Your message deserves to be seen — and art is a beautiful way to tell your story.
I’ve collaborated on projects such as:
"Mundo Panditas from Ricolino" "Kombat Cometa" "Ariadna y la Navidad" and others.
Let’s create something meaningful and magical together.

I got a Certificate in Interactive Digital Media from TAFE in Australia and to further develop my skills I complemented my studies at EUNOIA School training center. I pride myself as a curious individual who is always pursuing to get new skills and knowledge so I'm always taking new courses and diplomas. I speciallize in illustration, character design and visual development.
When I am not working, I love spending time in nature, reading fantasy literature, manga, webtoons, and cooking.
